This pattern is also included as a bonus in the Bulky Ceilidhe’s Beanie pattern.

The Bulky Ceilidhe’s (Kay-lees) Ear Warmer is a quick, fun project to keep your ears warm and comfortable with squishy texture! This is a companion to the Bulky Ceilidhe’s Beanie, using the same simple stitch pattern to create a visually-appealing bumpy texture with a cozy feel. Using only about 77.3 meters or 84.5 yards of bulky yarn, or two strands of worsted weight yarn (#4) held together, this is a great stash-buster pattern.
